...every Massachusetts streetcorner stop in the last few days, Udall begins by saying that 16 years ago he campaigned in Arizona for "a young man running for president from Massachusetts--John Kennedy."

Nineteen seventy-five was a year that left few heroes intact or untarnished. Many of the most interesting figures--Patty Hearst, Jimmy Hoffa, and Howard Hughes--remained largely out of view. It was a catastrophic year for the best and the brightest, as JFK and Doris Kearns emerged with blotted copybooks, though for different reasons. Attempts to create new heroes failed miserably, despite heroic efforts in the cases of Ruben "Hurricane" Carter and Joey "Kid Blast" Gallo. And some shady characters weathered the year better than might be expected. Idi Amin, Isabel Peron, Indira Gandhi, and Stephen S.J. Hall...

MUCH OF SALE'S book is poorly substantiated and irresponsible. In his speculation on the assassination of JFK, Sale makes no specific accusations, only notes that there were certain Rimsters who had plenty to gain from his death--Carlos Marcello of the New Orleans Mafia and Jimmy Hoffa, both under investigation by Attorney General Robert Kennedy '48, anti-Castro elements in Florida, those who suspected that the President was wavering in his commitment to South Vietnam, and Lyndon Johnson. These sorts of charges, lacking the necessary circumstantial evidence, lend credence to charges that Sale is just another left-wing paranoid...
